The Hidden Curriculum of a Teacher Induction Program: Ontario Teacher Educators' Perspectives.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This article investigates the hidden curriculum of Ontario’s New Teacher Induction Program (NTIP). The study involved interviews with 47 teacher educators from eight faculties of education. Responses revealed concerns about (a) who chooses the men ‐ tors, (b) the probationary status of new teachers, and (c) the evaluation of new teach ‐ ers’ competence. In the opinion of some teacher educators, the structure of NTIP may discourage new teachers from critiquing the system that employs them thus decreas ‐ ing the likelihood of their taking a critical democratic stance in their teaching. These findings have implications for any induction or mentorship program for new teach ‐ ers. Key Words: teacher education, mentorship, social justice, critical democratic, Ontario New Teacher Induction Program Cet article porte sur les objectifs caches du Programme d ʹ insertion professionnelle du nouveau personnel enseignant (PIPNPE) de l’Ontario. Pour cette recherche, les au ‐ teurs ont interviewe 47 professeurs de pedagogie dans huit facultes d’education. Ces entrevues revelent des inquietudes au sujet (a) du mode de selection des mentors, (b) du statut probatoire du nouveau personnel enseignant, (c) de l’evaluation des compe ‐ tences du nouveau personnel enseignant. Selon certains des repondants, la structure du PIPNPE peut dissuader certains nouveaux enseignants de critiquer le systeme qui les emploie, ce qui diminue les chances qu’ils prennent une orientation democratique critique dans leur enseignement. Ces observations ont des implications pour tout programme d’insertion professionnelle ou de mentorat s’adressant au nouveau per ‐ sonnel enseignant.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
